Ben Heason (UK) has repeated Annagramma thinking it was a tad harder than Caveman but still only V9. He also managed to send Extended World, V10 and Viva Resistance, V11. Sam Edwards has repeated Dead Can?t Dance and Cave Rave using an easier sequence for the DCD crux and suggested grades of V10 and V11/12 respectively. These grades are 2 less than their currently publicized grades! Both Eve Reve and Pretty Hate Machine could also be repeated using this sequence and thus would/should be downgraded by any repeat ascentionists (assuming they use the new sequence rather than the now ?eliminate? versions that is). With this new sequence (and the new sequence for Sleepy Hollow) this means that the entire cave link-up now stands at X-Treme Cool V9/10 + Sleepy Hollow V12 + Cave Rave V11/12.
